Prank call CD and music DVD

Definitely looking forward to the stuff Corey will send me.. he's been telling me about it all night. GWAR, Lords of Acid, prank calls, Ministry.. very exciting! :D

Just for my own reference, this is what Corey will send me sometime this week:

There's a music DVD and a prank call CD.

He bets the prank call CD is as long as the DVD though. :P They're all pretty low quality MP3s.. which really isn't a bad thing for prank calls. Since phone calls are low quality anyway, it doesn't really make them sound worse. Most of them are fairly low quality so they don't take up a lot of space, like the Tube Bar calls... the first file is 25 minutes long and only just over 4 megs. At normal music quality, that'd be at least 25 megs... he doesn't know how long the prank call CD is, but there's lots of stuff there. :P The DVD looks like it has a playing time just over 60 hours.

(He forgot to say what Tube Bar is. :P People calling themselves the Bum Bar Bastards call this gravelly voiced bartender named Red and ask for "Al Kolic" and stuff like that, and he calls those names out for everyone, then they laugh at him. :P It's where the Simpsons got the idea for Bart's pranks to Moe the Bartender.. that sounds very familiar!)

Not all the pranks are good, but lots of them are. There's probably some real stupid racist crap mixed in since certain prank call people seem to think that constitutes a funny call. But... there's tons of really funny pranks in there.. at least in his opinion. :P He basically just put everything he has on there. He included the "bag of rice" call too... which is probably one of the dumbest prank calls there is, but it always makes him laugh, just because it's so lame.


I have a few 80's Ministry synthpop songs too. ;) There's other Ministry stuff too, but he made sure to throw a few old songs in. ;) He only put the better ones of the old stuff in. If I selected everything on the whole DVD and have it all play in Winamp at once, and put it on random, I'll apparently have good stuff for a LONG time without repeats. He doesn't know if I'd find all the stuff on there good, but he thinks that pretty much all of it is good. :P I get Lords of Acid stuff too, of course.. there are 19 songs of theirs, and a full live concert bootleg too.

I have 297 files in the GWAR folder, and he took some stuff out because it was taking up too much space, and didn't have any room for GWAR videos either. :P There are 10 regular GWAR albums, the Let There be GWAR album (which is some stuff from before they had any albums that was just released early this year), Death Piggy (GWAR before they were GWAR basically.. that band evolved into GWAR), the Dave Brockie Experience (Dave Brockie is Oderus Urungus without his costume on :P), X-Cops (a GWAR side project), some misc stuff, bootleg concerts... it's pretty much everything they've released. :P ;)

There's stuff from at least 40 other bands too... and there's a Misc folder that has tons of different bands, just a song or two of each though, mostly. Cookie Monster singing C is for Cookie is in the misc folder. :P He also found a Ween song for me... it's in the misc folder too. :P

Detachable Penis by King Missile (which he made me listen to once); JUMP UP FUNBOY! by Skaur, which is a great song; Chewbacca (What a Wookie!) by Supersonic is in there; and so is No One Lives Forever by Oingo Boingo. :) (He really doesn't like Oingo Boingo... that song, and Weird Science are pretty much the only ones he's heard that he likes at all. This one is in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 at the start when these drunk guys causing trouble get hacked up by Leatherface and the cannibal family while driving across this bridge. It's a cool scene, and the music makes it so much better. He says it's not a gloomy song, and it's pretty upbeat for something with a title like that.. I'll take his word on it. :P )

I get a bunch of Revolting Cocks stuff, and Lard stuff... those are both bands that are basically Ministry with extra members involved. :P He forgot to put Pailhead in there though.. he meant to. Pailhead is basically just Ministry with the singer from Fugazi. Lard is Ministry with vocals by Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys. Revolting Cocks is just kind of a group that has tons of people from other industrial bands involved with it, but Ministry is the main part. There's actually a song on there that starts with a phone call between two people laughing about the crazy name. (sounds interesting.. I'll have to listen to that one!)

I'll have to check out Dee Dee King's Standing in the Spotlight.. the whole album is there. It's Dee Dee Ramone, the bass player from The Ramones... he put out a rap album, and there it is. :P It's probably one of the most awful albums ever made, but it's awful in a funny way, since he's not exactly a very good rapper. :P But then, I wouldn't expect him to be one... you know? ;)


Even if I don't like the music, hopefully I'll at least find some funny prank calls... the folder that's labelled "me" is just Corey. Those aren't very funny, though. :P They're funny to him, but he doesn't think they'd be really funny to anyone else... they were all done on one night at like 3 AM, waking people up to talk about nonsense. :P (he's told me about a bunch of those times before)

He made some prank calls around that time that were so much funnier, but he then didn't have anything set up to record it... like the old lady that he called with absolutely no plan.. he ended up saying: "Hi, do you fart a lot?" He wishes he had that one.. it was funny. She thought Corey was drunk.. he asked if she was drunk and she said: "Oh my, heavens no!" in like the most stereotypical old lady style possible. ;)

But mostly, the "me" folder isn't that funny. :P There's one called "Rico's Sandwich" that he did a lot better other times... this one is kinda funny since the lady he was talking to doesn't know what the hell is going on, but that's about it.. he doesn't even do the voice well. :P

He tells people that he's Rico and he's looking for his bologna sandwich, and he thinks they have it... and this is at 3 AM.. getting woken up for nonsense like that :P It's funny how many people will actually try to help you find your bologna sandwich at 3 AM until they wake up and realize what they're talking about and tell you to go to hell. :P

There's one where he tells a lady that she stole a potato from him... she didn't go along with that one very long. He thinks he just creeped her out.. it's not that funny. :P He finds it funny since he woke someone up for that idiocy, even though that's not very nice...

Hopefully, I'll have all this stuff before too long... I should have stuff to listen to for a while. As for the Revolting Cocks, I can call them RevCo if I want... that's what a lot of people call them. :P He wouldn't advise having my parents listen to a lot of this stuff. :P


He won't send me ants or spider eggs along with all this stuff, since he's a big wimp when it comes to bugs. :P I know he's planning to send Jane (his Taiwanese friend) a printout of ants or grasshoppers, an ant box, and a non-functional ant launcher. He's making her believe that it's all going to be real, since she sent him ants along with some clothing.. he was going to use chocolate-covered ants, but couldn't find any. It's also driving her nuts that he won't get her a serious present.. she'll like her present, but be mad about the level of teasing that went into this. She thinks that's all of her Christmas present... She asked Corey for some necklaces and earrings, so he got her this box of cheap necklaces and earrings from Wal-Mart. Since she REALLY likes Snoopy, she'll like the box surprise: a Snoopy necklace and a set of Snoopy earrings that he ordered from the Snoopy place at the Mall of America. That's a good strategy: gag gift and real gift. ;) (if she's not too afraid of the ants when she opens the package!)

Definitely looking forward to this! :D
